Emergency Pet Food Bank

The Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County’s food bank supplies pet food to those who are in temporary need of dog or cat food.

In order to receive pet food you must provide identification and proof that your pets are spayed or neutered. If your pets are not altered, you will be given food the first visit, as well as vouchers to have your pets spayed or neutered for a minimal fee. Proof of spay/neuter must then be provided for subsequent food bank visits to receive food.

How do I prove that my pet is spayed or neutered?Proof that your pet is spayed or neutered can be provided by the veterinarian who performed the surgery, or by a veterinarian who examines the animal. In emergency situations where proof of spay/neuter is not available, the staff at The Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County can evaluate the animal’s status.
